Episode 2. However, he dies. (One)

One.
skill.
Words that made countless hunters cry.
The conditions for awakening a skill are different for each person.
-I hit the scarecrow 10,000 times at the training ground. Then it happened naturally?
-One day, I suddenly heard God’s voice!
-Magic? Once I entered the tower, everything was fine.
There were hunters who had both character and grit, but ended up falling through the ranks due to lack of talent. On the other hand, there were also hunters with half-baked personalities who made a living off of their talent.
Typically, the first ranked Flame Emperor was the latter.
If life is compared to a game, wouldn’t Emperor Yeom’s life be a game of skill? If you want anything, you will get it with your own skills.
My life… is just an ordinary lucky game.
“Wooweeeek!”
How aimlessly did I wander after leaving the bar?
I ended up wasting my time in a deserted alley.
“If you don’t want to be lucky, Mr. “Or not at all.”
When is the most frustrating moment while playing a game?
Anyone who has played paid phone games will know this well.
That moment was not when 5 stars did not come out no matter how many times I played the lottery… but when 5 stars did come out, it was the most trashy 5 star. It’s like 5 stars, which is worse than 3 stars.
Even my 5 stars were worse than 1 stars.

“Black. shit···.”
okay. My life was a game full of luck.
Originally, when a skill was awakened, you had to go to the Hunter Management Bureau and report it. But I didn’t even report it. It’s so unfair. I’m embarrassed to show off that this is my skill.
-Hello, Hunter. How did you awaken your skill?
-I’m jealous of the number one ranking.
-yes?
-I felt like I was going crazy with envy and jealousy, so I developed a skill that told me to eat something. They say I am the most jealous person ever. haha.
I can’t even say this!
In the end, I just end up drinking too much and stumbling around in a remote alley like I do now.
‘···Where am I?’
But I wasn’t even good at that. Before I knew it, I had found myself in a completely unfamiliar alley. I couldn’t remember anything about where I was or how I got here.
Could it be that I end up sleeping on the floor of an alley like this?
‘ah. It’s sad.’
The moment I swallowed my tears like that.
A faint scream was heard from the other side of the alley.
“······Please, evil! Why suddenly…!”
The feeling of sleep was gone. The voice was too vivid to be heard because I was drunk on makgeolli. I don’t know who it was, but it was a scream that truly threatened my life.
‘what?’
I muffled the sound of my footsteps. I instinctively stopped breathing. One step. One step. I walked quietly towards the alley where I heard the scream. The closer I got, the more vivid the voice became.
this.
“Yo, Flame Emperor. “Why are you suddenly asking me…”
“It’s no use… “There’s no one around here anyway…”
This was the second stupid thing I did today.
The first mistake… of course, was drinking to the point where my mental fuse broke. I have never been drunk in my entire life. However, this day was an exception. I was so angry that the skill I finally acquired was S-level shit that I ended up drinking makgeolli like water.
The second mistake was not running away as soon as I heard the screams.
“I put poison in the glass you drank.”
“Do you mean poison? “What are you talking about earlier, Flame Emperor?”
“Yah. Good acting. “If anyone sees it, they’ll think you really don’t know.”
Inside a dead end alley.
There was a man and a woman in a dark place with no street lights. Perhaps it would be strange to simply say ‘there was’. Because the man threatened the woman, and the woman was threatened by the man.
“Basilisk gastric fluid. Actually, you are the poison in my cup. Hey. If it weren’t for my skills, something really big would have happened. Uh, why are you doing that? My face became pale. “Mr. Saint.”
“Is it true that all poisons cannot be harmed…? Oh, that’s ridiculous. “You probably don’t have that skill.”
“Nothing.”
The man’s laughter spread softly.
“But I have a slightly better skill than Mandokbulchim.”
And I recognized the man. No matter how dark the alley was, there was no way I couldn’t recognize the man’s back… his ponytail flowing back. Because I saw a similar-looking back on TV just last night.
‘It’s the real Flame Emperor!’
The #1 ranked hunter. The protagonist of this era. An idol that everyone respects. That is why he is the one who is envied and envied by everyone… and especially the hero who is envied by me.
furthermore.
‘That woman is a saint!?’
I covered my mouth to keep from breathing. Saint. He is the 9th ranked hunter in the world as selected by the management bureau, and is the one who caused a scandal by claiming that he is currently dating Emperor Yan. The most beautiful woman I had ever seen only in videos and photos on the Internet was there.

“But the pranks end here. “If you touch me, you will have to pay.”
Not only was he there, he was being threatened.
“Now, wait a minute. Lord Flame. You misunderstood something… “My only intention is to team up with the Flame Emperor and conquer the tower!”
“I thought that was the case too, but it turned out not to be true.”
“wait for me! Think about it. If Flame Emperor and I team up, the 40th floor is a given, and we might even be able to conquer the 50th floor within a year! yes! “It’s a place that humanity has never conquered, but if it’s just the two of us!”
“I thought so too, but I guess not.”
I was astonished.
‘Those two people. Weren’t we dating…?’
That’s what they said on the internet. The broadcast also covered the dating rumors between the two heroes. But the scene unfolding before my eyes had no romantic elements whatsoever. Even as a joke, it was difficult to say that it was a fight between lovers.
Murderous intent.
I could only see those who wanted to kill the other person and those who did not want to be killed by the other person.
“Please let us talk! We resolve misunderstandings through dialogue.”
“conversation? Ah, conversation. It’s good. “He’s a gentleman.”
The Flame Emperor grabbed the saintess by the neck.
“Keuw…!?”
“But I decide the rules of conversation.”
“Ugh,” the saintess struggled. Is she suffocating? The more she struggled, the harder it was for me to secretly watch. oh my god. oh my god. Something that should not have happened was happening right in front of my nose.
“I ask the questions. You just answer. Oh, there’s no need to answer verbally. If my question is correct, nod your head; if it is incorrect, shake your head. “That’s it.”
“Huh, huh…! Ugh…”
“I will spare your life only if you faithfully respond to the conversation. I’ll even give you an antidote as a bonus. But if, just by chance, you ignore my gentlemanly consideration… well. I don’t need to explain any more, you understand, right? I heard you graduated from Oxford. “Use your smart brain.”
The saint desperately hit the Flame Emperor’s arm that was holding her neck. chin! chin! But nothing changed. It was impossible in the first place for a saint who had become a healer to defeat the Flame Emperor by force.
“Actually. “I have only one question for you.”
“Eup, ok. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
“Who ordered you to kill me? Just answer that. “Did the Black Dragon Witch tell you to do this?”
I flinch. The saintess stopped struggling.
“Think carefully before answering. Even though I don’t have the ability to kill poison, I do have the skill to detect lies. “If you get caught yelling, I’ll burn even your bones.”
“······.”
Perhaps the saint seemed a little hesitant. Dark alley. Although she couldn’t see her face, she could feel her silence. As the Flame Emperor watched, the saintess slowly nodded her head.
“I knew so.”
There was a small sound of laughter.
“Goodbye, Saint Isabel.”
The fire burned.
The flames engulfed the dead-end alley. From the flame emperor’s grasp to the saint’s neck and to her entire body. The saint, engulfed in flames, began to struggle. It was her struggle to survive. But no matter how much she struggled, the Flame Emperor did not budge.
I just stared at the burning saint with expressionless expression.
“hmm.”
Even in the scorching flames, the Flame Emperor remained calm. He calmly and weakly did not let go of the saint’s neck until the end. The saint swung both her arms, scratched and scratched the flame emperor’s wrists with her nails, and finally she stretched out her hands towards the night sky… but soon, she stopped.
I went limp.
It no longer moved.
‘crazy···!’
He died before my eyes. A hero of humanity.
Perhaps it would be strange to simply say ‘he died.’ Yes. The saint did not die normally. She was murdered. She was equally treated as a hero to humanity by the Flame Emperor.
‘He’s crazy.’
The saint had already turned into a lump of charcoal. However, the fire did not stop. The Flame Emperor himself did not stop. Her flame burned her so that all her flesh and bones melted into her ashes and her forest.
With an expressionless face the whole time.
‘I’m out of my mind.’
I took a step back.
‘We must run away immediately.’
And I made my third and final mistake today.
Wow-.
It was a small sound. It wasn’t even a can, it was just the noise of glass being stepped on. Could it be a piece of glass that came from someone breaking a soju bottle? Or maybe it was glass that had been rolled around by the wind from somewhere… I didn’t know. I didn’t even need to know.
There was something else I really needed to know.
I just made a stupid mistake.
“···Hoo.”
And the Flame Emperor is not a hunter who will miss the mistakes of other humans.
“I took care of all the rats nearby. “There’s still one left.”
“Ugh!”
As soon as I made eye contact with the Flame Emperor, I ran.
I ran without looking back. Those eyes were those of a murderer. Not just one or two people, but dozens of people. Or the eyes of a much more massacred demon hatchling. The devil tried to kill me.
“Ha, bastard. cute?”
It was the moment when the Flame Emperor laughed. Hot! I felt a hot sensation near my ankles, and the next moment, I was rolling on the ground. At first I couldn’t understand why I fell.
Until I saw my feet on the floor.
“Hey, ik…!?”
My foot was cut off. my feet The right and left feet were cut off, complete with shoes.
The trademarks of famous brands drawn on the sides of sneakers were particularly white.
“Say, please save me! “Please save me!”
“Then why are you running away? “You were so f*cking cold.”
The Flame Emperor was bending his back. It had picked up my foot. He picked my foot up and played with it as if he was throwing and catching a baseball by himself. Tuk. Tuk.
“hey. “Did you see it?”
“Mo, I didn’t see it!”
The Flame Emperor approached.
“What didn’t you see?”
“I don’t know anything! Sigh. please. “I have nothing…”
“What don’t you know?”
“Please… Flame Emperor, please… save me. I won’t say anything. No matter where I go, I won’t tell you…”
A raindrop fell over my head.
The Flame Emperor was bending his knees and looking down at me.
“Wow. So, you have seen that I am the Flame Emperor, and you know that I am the Flame Emperor. I’ve seen it all. “I know everything.”
“please···.”
“Brother, are you trying to make me feel bad? “Why do you say you don’t know even though you know?”
The Flame Emperor touched my feet here and there.
“say it. What kind of guy sent it? “Are you a black dragon again?”
“I… really have nothing… nothing…”
“You don’t know anything, but you were watching me over there with the saint? Quiet as a rat? Yah. This guy is full of credibility. “If I were a little more pushy, I would just believe you.”
The Flame Emperor grinned.
“But I’m not a hogu, is it a chew?”
A firework erupted before my eyes. Grumble! The flames that spread from the Flame Emperor’s hands burned my feet. Everything burned down and disappeared. Even trademarks of famous brands. Shoes that have been worn for a long time. Baldo has been a part of my body for longer than that.
Everything disappeared.
“Next, it’s your head. “Answer me straight.”
My mind went blank.
This devil… is crazy.
He was crazy. There was no use whatsoever in saying anything to the crazy man. He was a bastard who thought everything he thought was right and he was always right. A psychopath who just kills people who have done nothing wrong.
The person whose name and color are number 1 in the rankings. How can a human do that?
Are you saying you were crazy about this person?
People… and I, thought this person was at least a little bit of a hero. I like it because it’s honest. Did you praise him for his cool personality? This crazy guy?
“Well, it’s a lie…”
“what?”
“Lie detection skills… “I heard you have lie detection skills.”
I continued desperately.
“You told the saint. They say you can tell if you lie. So answer well.
“······.”
“Try that. You know what I say is true. Lord Flame. I just happened to pass by. Please believe me!”
The Flame Emperor’s expression became strange.
“That’s old?”
etc,
